Homemade bread is the best! My friend from Arizona got me hooked on baking bread when she mailed me her breadmaking machine. Sadly though it quit after I made the first loaf! I was hooked and just HAD to have a bread machine. So my dear sweet husband bought me one! I have used it so much and have enjoyed every minute!
Today I had a craving for homemade bread, so I made a loaf! Here is the recipe that I used to make the bread. I put my machine on the “dough” cycle and baked my bread in the oven. If you have a bread machine follow the instruction manual when putting the ingredients in the bread pan.
1 ¼ Cups Milk
2 tsp shortening
3 Cups Bread Flour
1 TBSP Sugar (I sometimes use a little more than that)
¾ tsp salt
1 tsp Yeast
While the dough was preparing I took my cookie sheet and lightly greased it and then sprinkled it with cornmeal. When the dough was prepared I placed the dough on the cookie and molded it how I wanted it. I baked it at 350° for about 45 minutes. I checked it periodically until it was golden brown.
Homemade bread is just delicious! It smells so wonderful as it bakes! I hope that if you try this recipe you enjoy the process of baking it and eating it like I do!

Mmmmm! Looks yummy. We just inherited a bread maker from my grandma. I haven't tried just using the dough cycle yet. Now, I'll have to try out your recipe! It looks soooo good!
I was googling Keepers at Home and found you today! I love your blog and it's a joy to find a like-minded sister in Christ. I am kind of new to blogging and am looking forward to looking up your links. I have been married 20 years and still struggle with menu-planning since I home school, my days fly by. But I am newly motivated to get on the BALL and make yummy things.God bless your weekend, I'll come back! Susan T
Hope you are doing well!
I have been contemplating getting a bread machine--I thought you had to use special "machine" mixes--now I really think I would like to have one :)
Hi there, I just had a question about your recipe. Does the shortening have to be Crisco, or could it be veggie oil or butter? What do you use? Just curious. Trying to use what I have on hand. I'm having fun reading your blog. I linked over here from Unfolding Grace (Mrs. Elliot) whose blog I also love reading. Thanks for sharing.
